The main ingredient in CTZ Tablet is cetirizine hydrochloride. It works in the human body in the following manner:

• Cetirizine hydrochloride (10 mg) works by selectively inhibiting histamine activity in the body.
• Histamine is a chemical your body produces during an allergic reaction.
• By blocking histamine, the medicine helps reduce inflammation and irritation caused by the chemical, thereby reducing allergy symptoms.

2. Protect the medicine from moisture and avoid exposure to excessive heat.
3. Make sure the medicine is kept in a place where children cannot access it.

• Since CTZ Tablet is used to manage allergies, try to identify and avoid any foods or substances that trigger your allergic reactions.
• Maintain healthy indoor air quality. Regularly clean your home to remove dust mites, pet dander, or other allergens.
• Avoid outdoor activities during high pollen counts if you suffer from hay fever. Check local weather forecasts for pollen levels.
• If you're allergic to insect bites, wear protective clothing and use insect repellents when outside.
• For managing skin allergies like hives, wear loose, cotton clothing to prevent skin irritation.
• Keep your skin moisturised and avoid harsh soaps or detergents that can dry out your skin and worsen itching.
• Hydrate well by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This can help keep your skin hydrated and may reduce itching and irritation.
